Edited by Daniel Tröhler, Professor of the Foundations of Education, Department of Education and Synne Myrebøe,Postdoctoral Researcher, Foundations of Education, Department of Education, University of Vienna, Austria<i>‘This is a Handbook in the truest sense: comprehensive, knowledgeable, and useful. By exploring key concepts, fundamental disciplinary approaches, and urgent issues like gender, decolonialism, sustainability and AI, it provides a powerful argument for continuing reflection on the foundations of education.'</i>
- Johannes Westberg, University of Groningen, the Netherlands,
<i>‘This Handbook is a real gem: It is an imaginatively framed work which masterfully intertwines history, philosophy, and theory to interrogate education. It shows how disciplines - in conversation with each other - have the capacity to generate rich seams of understanding about who we are and why it matters.’</i>
- Susan Robertson, University of Cambridge, UK,
Leading international scholars examine core concepts within their economic, political and social contexts, exploring their impact on the soul, heart, mind and emotions, as well as self-understanding and invested personal growth. By tracing their evolution, contributors highlight the discursive preferences, inherent limitations and persisting historical trends of these foundational concepts. They provide important insight into how education, philosophy, history and theory have been discussed and thematised in contemporary academic discourse, considering education as a human right, subjectification, decolonialism and nationalism. This Handbook not only contextualises past educational predictions but also presents new perspectives on the future of education, nature and technology.
Providing a comprehensive overview of a vibrant and diversified field of research, this Handbook is crucial literature for education scholars and students, particularly those researching educational history, philosophy and politics. It will also inform sociologists of education and curriculum and pedagogy specialists looking for a deeper understanding of the history and philosophy of education.
